[Model for coordination of community health services and health and welfare services offered by health insurance societies].

The purpose of this paper is to provide information for the development of health and welfare services being offered by health insurance societies (HIS). We analyzed examples of coordinated activities by HISs, the organizations under them (affiliated groups), and regional community self-regulating groups (communities), looking for the shape and direction such coordinated activities should take in the future. We chose 6 cases from public information available from August, 2000 to January, 2001 and visited the parties involved to conduct follow up surveys on the nature of their coordinated activities.
